BMW 3 Series Sedan - What makes it one of the most fuel-efficient luxury sedans?

Until a few years ago, the only thing people cared about while buying a luxury car was the reputation of the brand. For most people in India, buying a luxury car was, more than anything else, a way to tell the world ‘I’ve arrived.’ Some of the more conscious car buyers, also took into consideration the design and performance of the vehicle while buying a luxury car. But fuel efficiency? It figured nowhere on the list. If you could afford to buy a luxury car, you could also afford to pay for its fuel. It was as simple as that. 

However, times have changed. These days, fuel efficiency has become an important factor that people take into consideration while buying a luxury car. Right from saving money to reducing their carbon footprints, there are many reasons that prompt people to opt for fuel-efficient luxury cars.

Traditionally, luxury cars are not known for their fuel efficiency. But in the past few years, the luxury car makers have taken big strides forward when it comes to making their vehicles more fuel-efficient. These days, many of the luxury cars offer good fuel efficiency. BMW 3 series is a case in point.  

BMW 3 series models are known for their elegant styling, powerful engines, and high fuel efficiency. Here are some of the things that make BMW 3 series sedan one of the most fuel-efficient sedans in India -

Auto Start-stop Function

This function switches off the engine automatically when the vehicle comes to a temporary standstill. In the long run, this can significantly reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle. Here, it is important to highlight the fact that this function switches off the engine only when the energy saved by switching off the engine is higher than the energy required to start the engine again.

Electric Power Steering

A traditional steering draws power even when it is constant. Electric power steering of BMW 3 series sedan, on the other hand, uses power only during the steering movements. When the steering is constant, no power is used. This helps in saving the energy and making the vehicle more fuel efficient.

Brake Energy Regeneration

With Brake Energy Regeneration, the energy which is produced when the foot is taken off the accelerator, is used to charge the car battery. This, ultimately, helps in reducing the fuel consumption and increasing the overall efficiency of the vehicle.

Also, BMW 3 series models are designed using lightweight construction concept that helps in increasing their strength as well as fuel efficiency. To know more about BMW 3 series price and features, you can visit a BMW authorized dealer in Kolkata.
